Slaven Bilic: This West Ham player has been brilliant this season

Manager Slaven Bilic has heaped praise on in-form winger Michail Antonio after a brilliant start to the new season.

The 26-year-old has hit the ground running, netting four times in the last three games with two strikes coming in the 4-2 loss to Watford at the London Stadium on Saturday.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of West Ham’s trip to the Midlands to face West Brom on Saturday, Bilic was quoted by the Hammers’ official Twitter account as saying that he’s delighted with Antonio’s form.

“He’s been brilliant offensively, scoring four goals and is very direct” Bilic said. “He is linking up well with Dimitri Payet.”
